Happy Monday, Northwest Portland blog readers! Here's both a recap of news from the weekend and a look at what's coming up this week: -- Perspectives on the Oregon Humanist Film Festival: The second Oregon Humanist Film Festival was held over the weekend at Cinema 21 in Northwest Portland. Examiner.com called the festival "the largest freethought film festival on the West Coast." The website's coverage of the festival went on to say that it was an event where "Humanists, Atheists, Agnostics, Skeptics, Freethinkers, and the curious
from the Northwest and beyond can gather, mingle and share in an
exciting and stimulating atmosphere."

The Christian Post had a slightly different take on the film festival. One part of its story read, "The campaign’s website complains that 'many religious believers see
their god or their faith as the basis for emotions such as hope, caring,
and love. We don’t deny that the religious may find inspiration in
their beliefs – but our religious friends should not presume that
accepting their beliefs is necessary for a fulfilling life.'"

The party will run 11 a.m to 10 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15 at the pub, 210 N.W. 11th Ave., in the Pearl District. Bottles will go on sale at 11 a.m., with a six-bottle limit per person.

Apparel with The Abyss logo will be available for sale for men and women.

There will be a special menu including cherry-glazed barbecue baby-back ribs, wild salmon, and chocolate Abyss crunch cake, among other items. A vertical flight of the beer from 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 will be available after 5 p.m.

Doors will open at 5 p.m., and the presentation will begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15 at the Mission Theater, 1624 N.W. Glisan St. in the Northwest District. Tickets are $5, and minors are welcome with a parent or guardian.
